Jai Bhardwaj, a class 12 student, conducted a project comparing soybean milk and natural buffalo's milk. He prepared soybean milk by soaking and grinding soybeans, then filtering the mixture. He observed how each type of milk curdled at different temperatures (30°C, 40°C, 50°C) after adding curd. Natural milk produced denser curds at lower temperatures while soybean milk required lower temperatures (30-33°C) for good quality curds. Higher temperatures led to watery curds in both milks but the natural milk curds remained sour while the soybean milk curds became tasteless.

Soyabean milk and Buffalo’s milk
6. Soak about 15 g of soyabean in sufficient amount water in a
beaker. Allow them to remain in water for 24 hours at room
temperature. Take out swollen soyabeans and crush them to a
fine paste in pestle and mortar. Add about 200 mL of water
into it and filter the contents through a fine muslin cloth. The
filtrate thus obtained is called soyabean milk. Compare its
taste with buffalo's milk.
Take 20 mL of buffalo's milk in three different beakers.
labelled as A, B and C. Heat the beakers to 30°C, 40°C and
50°C respectively. Add ¼ tea spoon full of curd to each
beaker. Mix the contents with a glass rod. Allow the beakers
to stand undisturbed for 8 hours. Observe the changes and
record them.
Take 20 mL of soyabean milk in three beakers, labelled as D,
E and F. Heat the beakers to 30°C, 40°C and 50°C
respectively. Add tea spoon full of curd to each beaker. Mix
the contents with a glass rod and allow the beakers to stand
undisturbed for 8 hours. Observe the changes and record
them.

8. For soyabean milk , the best temperature
for the formation of good quality and tasty
curd 30-33°C and for buffalo’s milk=35-40°C
In buffalo’s milk (natural milk) , higher the
temperature more rapid is the fermentation of
lactose into lactic acid which imparts a sour
taste to the curd.
